Fans of Berserk have had a lot to look forward to this past year, with new releases and re-releases keeping the excitement alive. One such release is the upcoming Berserk: The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition, a Blu-ray collection of the 2012-2013 films set to launch on August 27. The anticipation for this release is palpable among fans, who can already preorder the collection on Amazon and Crunchyroll Store.
For those looking to save some money, Amazon currently offers a preorder discount of over 20% on the Berserk: The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition. While Crunchyroll’s price is slightly lower, the additional shipping costs make Amazon the more cost-effective option. Moreover, the collection promises to deliver both English and Japanese dubs, along with extras such as textless opening and ending songs on a two-disc set. The cover art, featuring Guts in a berserker rage, hints at a visually stunning release that fans are sure to appreciate.
The Golden Age arc of Berserk has been an intriguing journey for fans, offering a faithful adaptation of the manga while incorporating beautiful animation and CGI techniques. The films have been praised for their ability to capture the essence of Berserk’s first major arc, culminating in the intense Eclipse sequence. The portrayal of this pivotal moment in the Golden Age films has been described as pure nightmare fuel, eliciting strong emotions from viewers reminiscent of the horror found in the 2016 Berserk adaptation.
While the Golden Age films have their merits, some fans still hold the 1997 anime adaptation of Berserk in high regard. This classic version of the series is currently available in its best format on Amazon, where it has seen multiple sellouts since its release. The 25-episode series remains a favorite among fans for its unique take on the Berserk saga.
For fans who prefer to experience Berserk in its original form, the manga remains a timeless classic. Kentaro Miura’s dark fantasy series has been collected in various formats over the years, but the oversized hardcover volumes are widely considered the definitive way to enjoy this legendary tale. Whether revisiting the Golden Age arc through the films or delving into the original manga, fans of Berserk have plenty of options to choose from to satisfy their craving for dark fantasy adventures.
